1. I really, really love the Amazon Fire 8 HD that I bought on Black Friday because I couldn’t pass up the good deal… it’s been really fun to have a functioning e-reader again and the extra functionality of being able to go online real quick or check Instagram or Facebook is really awesome. I am…

December Link Love

Hey guys, here’s my December round-up of noteworthy links that I found on the Internet. Enjoy! Around the Interwebs Why the 8-hour work day doesn’t work (anymore). Thought-provoking. Scary to think how hard it is to change someone’s mind when you feel like you’re a pretty open person. The infuriating psychology of white women voting for…

Hello December

Hello December

Wow, and just like that, it’s December, month of all the holiday cheer, sparkling lights, candles, baking and coziness, and the last month of the year. I am thrilled and terrified at the same time.
